this for what it is. the international community seems to be failing the palestinians. we asked jacky walker why the us and uk cont continue to back tel aviv, whose actions are surely now indefensible. you know, i, i made a comparison, in a talk some time ago, and it's a very sort of blunt comparison, and i don't know how much this works around the world or with your viewers, but certainly in england, if you see a man walking quietly with dog, but that dog looks like it's a vicious dog, and it grows. and it goes up to you and you know you're scared and you're scared into maybe moving over or doing what the man ask? that's a great analogy for the relationship between america and israel. israel actually does the functions, it gets its hands dirty, it gets its hands bloody with the kind of international crimes that america likes to pretend it doesn't. do, so top of it being an outpost of euro-american power in the middle east, which it is, it also has that function. israel will do and say the kind of awful, awful, horrible, racist, bizarre, barbaric rhetoric that even the americans won't say. b
